Ramadan Mubarak, Kashmir!
The traditional Ramadan "burning of the tires" in Kashmir.
Two allegedly "occupied" lands. Both the result of partition. Both with millions of "refugees".
One is in the news nearly every day. One is described as the cause of so much misery in the world. One is described as an occupier and oppressor.
The difference between India's "occupation" of Kashmir and of Israel's "occupation" of "Palestine"? Jews.
Antisemitism is more than the wish for the extermination of the Jewish people. It is also the double standard which holds Israel to a standard required of no other nation on Earth. Just ask the East Prussians.
